Schoolyard bullies know what to say
To get underneath my skin
And if I find the right retort
I could find a way to win
CHORUS:
Words can hurt, words divide,
Words can sometimes heal
And if I use those words just right
I’ll know how I’m supposed to feel
Sometimes in relationships
We say things ‘cause we are so close
And when we play for all the chips
Somebody has to go home alone
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
God’s love is a word
That sees through all the mess we make
And though it might seem quite absurd
We a second chance… for our mistakes
REPEAT CHORUS
CHANT

Only You Remain
05:10

There’s a crimson stain called sacrifice
That he wears when he sees fit
Did he ever think for one moment
About the man who died for it?
He says, “everyone is so brave
About dealing with my pain”
But if he’d lay his pain at your side
He might feel free to be called by name
CHORUS:
There’s so much that I give to you
And so much I hold back
There’s so much that you give to me,
It makes up for what I lack
I try to fill my life with things
To make it feel less plain
But all these things will pass in time
Yet only you remain,
Only you remain
The boy behind the counter
Speaks with a corporate monotone
It’s gotten this way after years
Of it eating away at his soul
He’s heard sin cannot be justified, it can only be forgiven
If he’d lay his pride at his side he might find the peace of heaven,
He might find the peace of heaven
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
His love is great,
Greater than us
We’re made of something stronger,
Thicker than blood
(And bound by love)
I’ve got a dark secret
Buried deep within my heart
With only fear that won’t let it out
So my secret and I will never part
I’ve heard sin cannot be justified,
It can only be forgiven
But if I lay my pride at my side
I’ll find the peace of heaven
I know I’ll find the peace of heaven because
REPEAT CHORUS

More Than This
03:30
|
|||
|
There’s no reward without investment of your time
When times get hard you get good at getting by
When tunnel vision seems to blind the eye
No forward motion as you stare into the light
CHORUS:
There should be so much more than this
You may not always get what you wish
There should be so much more than this
Life is pain mixed with bliss
Without you
There’s no turning back
I can’t compensate
For all these things I lack
A quiet desperation
Haunts all my days
When I rush to action
Instead of taking time to pray
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
There should be so much more than this
More than a life of pain and bliss
OUTRO:
We’ve gone too far off track
There’s no way of getting back
We can’t keep this hectic pace
With a feeling of no escape

Give Back
03:32
|
|||
|
There’s no love so great as a mother’s love, no
It seems to stem from the heavens above, oh
Their sacrifice… and all that we have put you through
I want to give back to you
CHORUS:
Wherever you go, wherever you roam
I will find my way back home
However I live, whatever I give
Will find its way back home to you
In all that I am meant to do
I want to give back to you
There’s no love so great as a father’s love
It seems to stem from the heavens above
And all that we have put you through
I want to give back to you
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Now the time has passed for living in the past
I have to live for others that’s what the future asks
Of me
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO:
A live of servitude, it’s what we all should do
I want to give back to you

Inside of Me
04:44
|

|
You let your heart be troubled
Without showing signs of fear
All I know of love is yours,
I feel it ever near
You knew me when I was someone,
You came to take my hand
Even when I am down to nothing,
You give me strength to stand
CHORUS:
It’s not a point of pride
Believing in things not in plain sight
'Cause I can’t control the things I need
With so much faith inside of me
Inside of me
Don’t be afraid
If my love you have all
When something is real,
It’s natural to be scared to fall
If I reveal my whole heart
Would you look inside
And even if try to run
There’s nowhere I can hide
CHORUS

Take Away
02:35
|
|||
|
The Heart of the matter is a matter of the heart
Seems like a pretty good place to start
I wish I knew what you’re trying to impart
I try not to be a selfish being
Sometimes I think that’s all you see
It makes up the largest portion of me
CHORUS:
Sometimes I think of what you take away
Just want to keep those clouds at bay
Just want a life easy for me
It’s so easy to play the victim role
Most of life beyond my control
What I want cannot fill this hole
I try to break my stranglehold
When things are better if I just let go
Now if only I could be so bold
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I only see part of the screen
I wish I knew what you mean (maybe one day I’ll see)
When all is revealed, this could change how I feel
What are my take aways?

The Outsider's Eye
04:12
|
|||
|
Nothing tastes as good as peace feels
A bountiful harvest will have a prosperous yield
And if the rain washes your harvest away
We’ll still live on to plant another day
CHORUS:
These things are made by design
It won’t seem clear every day of your life
Take a step back and look inside
You’d be surprised what you see through the outsider’s eye
It’s rare to find enduring love in this world
If it all falls apart I don’t regret loving you girl
We can’t go back, I never said that we could
Even through the bad there still comes some good
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Advice becomes so clear
When I agree to persevere
I keep moving in strides over time
Through all my life

Empty Inside
04:40
|
|||
|
We’re all surrounded by distractions,
Searching for some kind of satisfaction,
But it will not come our way
We’re all longing to be loved
We're gazing into the sky above,
But in the depths of our souls we pray
CHORUS:
Come now, intervene
Tear apart this darkened dream
We wish to fly now and be free,
Partake of transcendent mystery
Instead of being taken on this ride
We all walk this world so lonely
We want to love but we can only
Try to feed the emptiness inside
|

Lost in the World
04:10
|
|||
|
If my pride won't let me see
The grace and the beauty
in anything but me
Let me always strive to find you
in all that I will ever do
CHORUS:
Be my map, give me direction
Make me a shadow of your perfection
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
Lost in the world without you
If lust should take its hold
and these feelings get out of my control
Let me always strive to find you
in all that I will ever do
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
If I should feel you got something to prove
Please find the strength to let this hardened heart be moved
Cause I won't find the peace that I need
in all of these things that are temporary
|

Free
04:00
|
|||
|
When my day is done
When the race is run
When my song is sung
And when the music’s done
CHORUS:
It’s what we all need
Reach out and be free
When the night is long
I can’t sleep but still dream on
When I’ve done my best
Is when I’ll take my rest
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
My peace I leave with you
As a token to what is true
When I sit in silence
I know just how it feels to be quiet
When I’m on my own
I know I’m not alone
REPEAT CHORUS
